"The reception that our Toasted Barrel Finish whiskeys have received is a

result of tremendously focused work done by our production team led by Master

Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. Despite the

continuing shortages across all our whiskey stocks, we really wanted to make

some of our rye available for this special release," said Joseph J. Magliocco,

Michter's President.

Michter's Toasted Barrel Finish Rye is made by taking fully matured Michter's

US*1 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye at barrel strength and then further

aging it in a second custom barrel made to the specifications set by Michter's

Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. She commented, "For this 2020 release, we

selected rye barrels aged to peak quality and then dumped each barrel, with the

contents of each single barrel being put in a second single barrel assembled

from 24 month naturally seasoned and air dried wood. The second barrel was

custom toasted to extract characters to create a rich and decadent rye whiskey

experience." The average barrel proof for the toasted rye barrels bottled for

this release is 109.2. Master Distiller Dan McKee remarked, "This is a whiskey

that you really can sip and savor."

The suggested Retail Price of Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye is $85

for a 750ml bottle in the U.S.

Beyond its main distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, Michter's

operations extend to two other sites in Kentucky. In Springfield, Michter's is

farming estate grown grain on its 145-acre property, while in downtown

Louisville, Michter's has its second distillery in the historic Fort Nelson

building. Situated in a prime location on West Main Street opposite Louisville

Slugger and on the same block as the Frazier Museum, Michter's Fort Nelson

Distillery features the legendary pot still system from Michter's Pennsylvania

Distillery. When open, it also has educational tours with whiskey tastings as

well as The Bar at Fort Nelson, which features classic cocktails curated by

spirits and cocktail historian David Wondrich.
